Wait...isn't this exact double-bill with Maggie Gyllenhaal a rebroadcast? I could swear it aired already. #TCMParty

While I remember it as a campy misfire ("PeZUZU!!"), this doc has intrigued me to give EXORCIST II a reappraisal tonight; only seen it once back in the early 80s. Or at least I'll see how long I can stick with it. 😬 #TCMParty

DVR Alert! TCM at 5pm-What ever possessed him? BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL. I haven't got around to writing a review, but was able to preview this 2026 doc recently. An absorbing look at John Boorman's travails making the 1977 film EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC (it damn near killed him). Recommended! #TCMParty

I was referring to theme songs for 80s films.

Definitely one of the best Bond themes (although it's one of my least favorite Bond films...).

Dennis Hartley @denofcinema.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

For me, this runs a close second to Wang Chung's "To Live and Die in L.A." as the best synth-pop title song of the 80s. More faves..."A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran, "Cat People" by Bowie, "Pretty in Pink" by the Psych Furs, "Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo, and "The Never Ending Story" by Limahl.

"And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world, in which there is one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused."

Bakker, Swaggert, Roberts, Schuller, Falwell...I'm old enough to remember a period in the 1980s when you couldn't channel-surf without coming across one of those televangelists with their silk suits, gold bling, pompadours, and tear-streaked faces, begging for money...cuz that's what Jesus would do.

Old enough to have people tell me all the time about these old gems they've just discovered and, ma'am, that was one of the top-grossing films of 1987. On a related note, showed a slide with a picture of John Wayne on it to my freshman class and one person kind of knew who it was.

Nice piece. The similarly themed (and underrated) A WALK ON THE MOON (1999) would fit in well (which would make it a trilogy of sorts).

To expose Nixon's crimes and corruption, Woodward and Bernstein had to start at the bottom with the burglars and painstakingly follow the money; to expose the current administration's crimes and corruption all they would need to do is follow Trump's Truth Social account. #TCMParty

This is news? IIRC, around 10 years ago Rock very publicly groused about college audiences being "too conservative", and cited that as the reason he stopped doing college gigs. Seinfeld chimed in soon afterwards.

The Medicare Part B premium is automatically deducted from Social Security checks every month. Naturally, that braindead orange cretin has absolutely no fucking clue how the system works...any more than he would know how to navigate his way through a grocery store. 🙄

"This Hour has 22 Minutes" (CBC) has been killing it this season (especially since the Trump administration has been giving our Canadian friends tons of comedy ammo). This sketch had me rolling the other night. youtu.be/0YJsAWbJWZ8?...
